Why it was refused

  1. These changes would result in material change to the proposal. This would therefore require an assessment to be made with regard to the character and appearance of the development in relation to the existing dwelling, Metropolitan Green Belt and surrounding area. Additionally the residential amenity of the proposed development would need to be considerded. The proposed alterations do not therefore constitute a Non-Material Amendment. The Authority would require a new application to be submitted for the alterations to be properly considered.

From the council's decision notice.
